LOOKING AHEAD TO GIVING TUESDAY

Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday, which gives us another opportunity to raise money for All Within My Hands, empowering the Foundation to support the crucial work done by charitable organizations around the world.

Many of you got to know AWMH better during the Helping Hands live stream, so you are familiar with how our fundraisers work. Every dollar that AWMH receives goes directly to the organizations we support - not a single cent you donate goes to Foundation expenses.

This year, you can contribute by purchasing one of the Metallica Store’s Giving Tuesday items which includes limited-edition foil variant posters by artists Dirty Donny, WolfSkullJack, Munk One or an AWMH face mask. Posters go on sale at 9AM PST and will sell out fast!

In case ya missed it, 13 new videos were added to our YouTube channel this month including videos from the 2019 North American and 2017/2018 European WorldWired arena tours. As always, more clips are on the way in March!

The easiest way to get notified when there''s a new video is to subscribe to our YouTube channel. You can expect more videos from the 2018 Euro arena tour to come in March including "Helpless," "Of Wolf and Man," and "Spit Out the Bone," as well as performances of "Master of Puppets," "Fade to Black," and "Hardwired."

Dear Metallica Family,

It pains me to write this, but I have to let all of you know that I cannot make it to Sonic Temple in Columbus and Louder Than Life in Louisville this year. As part of my continuing effort to get and stay healthy, I have critical recovery events on those weekends that cannot be moved. I apologize to all of our fans who have bought tickets for these festivals. We are working with the festival promoters to provide for refunds or exchanges. My intent with this statement is saying “I apologize” to each one of you. The reality is that I have not prioritized my health in the past year of touring and I now know that my mental health comes first. That might sound like a no-brainer for most of you but I didn’t want to let the Metallica team/family down and, I alone, completely compromised myself.

Looking on the brighter side, my therapy is going well. It was absolutely necessary for me to look after my mental, physical, and spiritual health.

I want to stress that the band will play all other announced 2020 shows.

I am looking forward to getting back to playing and seeing all our great South American fans in April. And, of course, playing the Epicenter in Charlotte, Welcome to Rockville in Daytona and Aftershock in Sacramento. We will still play two unique sets at each of these festivals.

Beyond 2020, I am optimistic about the blessings I have been given and what the future brings. I appreciate all the great prayers and support from everyone since I went into rehab last September. Like the moth into the flame, being human in this career has its huge challenges and can be difficult. Your understanding helps the healing.

- James

Thanks to Tool and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who have graciously offered to step in for us at Sonic Temple; Louder Than Life headliners will be announced at a later date. Sonic Temple and Louder Than Life pass holders who would like to exchange their passes to see Metallica at another Danny Wimmer Presents festival, or would like to receive a refund, will be able to do so starting this Friday, February 28th. An email will be sent out to purchasers from Front Gate Ticketing on Friday at 10:00AM EST with complete exchange and refund details. For more information, visit SonicTempleFestival.com and LouderThanLifeFestival.com.

We’re hosting a contest where Fifth Members™ can enter to reserve the opportunity to purchase this extremely limited box set, including original sheet music used in the show, signed by all four members of Metallica.

UPDATE FROM THE BUNKER

Greetings. not from our usual HQ haunts, but this time from our living rooms, bedrooms, and basements. As many of you know, in our nearly forty years of touring, we've had a few mishaps along the way: broken bones, trashed appendixes, a pyro mishap, backs thrown out, crazy weather, food poisoning (beware of the oysters!), and even one way next-level anxiety attack! None of it has ever stopped us, but this is obviously a very different time, and leaving the house now literally means taking your life in your hands. Unfortunately, in these surreal times, that means we have to stay away from each other for the foreseeable future before we can start thinking about 'Tallica Family reunions around the world.

We're all putting safety first, self-isolating and socially distancing, but not forever! With that said, the South American shows originally planned for April are in the process of moving to December; Greta Van Fleet is going to stay on board to take this ride with us, and we'll be hitting each and every city, but a few venues may have changed. We'll be back later this week with the new dates and details about tickets, venues, and everything you need to know to help you make plans.

For those of you in the States, you know that we have some festival dates planned in May and unfortunately the news is not quite as good. With heavy hearts, we're here to let you know that Epicenter in Charlotte, Welcome to Rockville in Daytona, and Sonic Temple in Columbus have all been cancelled. There is one bright note; Louder Than Life in Louisville (September 17-20) has ADDED a date and we're excited that we'll once again be able to partake in the festivities as we'll be hitting the stage on Thursday, September 17th to kick off what will be four days of live music and good vibes. Additional headliners for the remainder of Louder Than Life will be announced at a later date. Please head over to DannyWimmerPresents.com for all the information. Details regarding refunds and exchanges for the May shows will also be available there starting Thursday, March 26th.

Finally, to our friends in Australia and New Zealand, please know that we have not forgotten and you're still in our hearts and minds. We will make it to your part of the world as soon as we can. We promise!

We'll sign off for now by sending you our love during these trying times. Here's to looking back on this period soon with a renewed appreciation for all the amazing times together with our extended Metallica Family around the world. For now, go hang with your significant others, kids, pets, parents. whomever you have in your space. Create your playlists, watch some movies, try some old-fashioned board games, and most importantly, stay safe. We'll keep in touch!

THIS WEEK IN THE MET STORE

A NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING
Holidays are rapidly approaching and shipping carriers are stretched thin.

For the best chance (although no guarantee) of receiving your shipment before December 25, you must select UPS 2nd Day Air for domestic orders at checkout. Unfortunately all shipping deadlines have passed for international orders to arrive by December 25.
